IPS…A 4250C

IPS is a constant wattage heating tape that can be used for freeze protection or maintenance of process temperatures in pipework and vessels.
It can be cut-to-length at site and can replace mineral insulated (MI) cables for applications where the cut-to- length feature or field fabricated heating cable is preferred.
IPS is approved for use in non-hazardous, and hazardous areas to world-wide standards.
Because of the special construction with “heating zones” no additional cold lead is needed. From cut point to the next heating wire bonding point the heating cable remains cold and serves as cold lead.
The installation of IPS heating tape is quick and simple and requires few special skills or tools. Termination and power connection components are all provided in convenient kits.
IPS is jacketted in a continuous aluminium extrusion for maximum mechanical strength, even after severe process upsets.

Technical Data

Maximum Pipe / Workpiece Temperature

Max. exposure Temperature:

Energized 340°C

The surface of the heater must not exceed the maximum withstand temperature of its constructional materials or the Temperature Classification (if installed in a hazardous area). This is ensured by limiting the pipe or workpiece temperature to a safe level either by design calculation (a Stabilised Design) or by means of temperature controls. For worst case conditions, the temperature of steel pipes should be limited to the following levels:

Intermitent 425°C

Min. Installation Temperature:

-40°C
